The Nordic Game Program ran from 2006 to 2015, with the goal of securing access to quality Nordic computer and video games for children and young people. It was part of the official Nordic co-operation, and one of the most successful Nordic co-operative efforts ever in the cultural field. In addition to funding 112 game projects, selected from 1,345 applications, game development companies from the Nordic countries were assisted with joint-brand export missions to global game events in Europe, Asia and North America, and the support of the program also helped establish the Nordic Game conference as a, if not the, leading professional game developer conference in Europe.

The program was designed and then run by Nordic Game Resources AB, and the original six-year program was extended for four years, the last three of which were run by the for that purpose created Nordic Game Institute. The Institute's purpose is to secure long-term Nordic co-operation in the games industry, and it also serves in co-ordinating activities among the five national game developer trade organisations.

Nordic cooperation is one of the world’s most extensive forms of regional collaboration, involving Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and three autonomous areas: the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland.
Nordic cooperation has firm traditions in politics, the economy, and culture. It plays an important role in European and international collaboration, and aims at creating a strong Nordic community in a strong Europe.
Nordic cooperation seeks to safeguard Nordic and regional interests and principles in the global community. Common Nordic values help the region solidify its position as one of the world’s most innovative and competitive.

Other reports

The Nordic Game Program was based on a survey of Nordic games and factors influencing the availabliity of Nordic-made, Nordic-langage games and a subsequent proposal for a support system for games and the industry that makes them. Several other reports were also made during the program, and many can be found below. Again, for policy reasons, they are for the most part in Swedish.
